Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The URI Marine Technical Certificate Program provides undergraduate students with experiential learning opportunities to acquire technical skills and professional certifications required for professional and research careers in disciplines such as marine biology, oceanography, aquaculture, fisheries, wildlife conservation, ocean engineering, underwater archaeology, and maritime history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skills taught include boat handling, scuba diving, underwater research, equipment maintenance, and troubleshooting in adverse conditions in field-based settings. Participants will acquire necessary professional certifications per the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS), the World Recreational Scuba Training Council (WRSTC), and any relevant equipment service technician certifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Certificate is available to all undergraduate students, and courses may be applied towards other degree programs at URI. There are no additional fees (beyond the normal URI course fees) to participate in the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
